This invention relates to ornamentation and its general object is to provide a hollow article in the form of a flower or the like to be worn on the person and to receive liquid therein, such as water or perfume, and in cludes means to eject the liquid through openings in the article when pressure is applied thereto.

A further object of the invention is to provide an ornamental object formed from hollow tubing of elastic material such as rubber in any design and shape to simulate flowers and is provided with openings therein to eject liquid therefrom and the object includes means for fastening the same on the clothing of the person.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like 01' corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure l is a front View illustrating one form of my invention.

Figure 2 is a similar View of a modified form.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be noted that in both forms of the invention as shown that the article is formed from hollow tubing of elastic means such as rubber and this tubing is arranged in designs to simulate flowers or the like with means of ornamentation disposed thereon and about the same.

In the form as shown in Figure l, 1 provide a central ring portion 1 of tubular formation from which radiates arms 2, the arms being disposed'in communication with the central ring portion and have their outer portions curved as at 3. The outer ends of the arms 2 are closed and the curved portions 3 are enlarged intermediate their ends to provide bulbous portions 4.

The central ring portion has likewise disposed in communication therewith horizontal arms 5 that extend from opposite sides thereof and terminate in closed ends. Bridging the central ring portion 1 is a cross tube 6 that is provided with apertures 7 for a purpose which will be rising rom the central ring portion is a vertical arm 8, which is used to fill the article with liquid such as water or perfume and the vertical arm is provided with a threaded upper end to threadedly receive a plug 9.

Depending from the central ring portion is a hollow tubular element 10 which includes a substantially triangularportion 11, and while pi nirc may be applied to any part of the art through the aperture 7 it will be apparent that the hollow tubular element 10 may be used for that purpose, as well as the portions Any well known fastening means may be 70 employed for securing the article to the clothing of the person, such means being a pin, button or the like, and ornamental means such as jewels or the like 12 may be secured to the arms 2, 5 and'8. I also employ ornamental means in the form of relatively stiff wire 13 which not only acts in the capacity as ornamentation but will retain the arms 2 in the form as shown, as it will be noted that the wire 8 is wrapped around the arms and one strand may be employed for adjacent arms as shown.

lin the form shown in Figure 2, I likewise employ a central ring portion 14 from which radiate arms 15 form of heart and these arms 15 are formed from rubber, tubing and have their ends disposed in communication with the central ring portion ll which of course is hollow and has bridging the same a cross tube 16 that is provided with apertures 1? through which liquid ejected upon pressure on the arms 15 or any other part of the article as shown in Figure 2. Depending from the central ring por- 7 tion 1 is the filling tube 18 and this tube is i as at 19 and terminates in end to receive a plug 20." a of the invention as shown in may likewise have ornamental presently apparent, and

role to cause the liquid to be ejected substantially in the r 1 0 means thereon such as ewels or the like, and O I have shown strands 21 of ornamental wire for securing the arms 15 in the shape as shown. The strands 21 are arranged in a frame for receiving the arms 15, and any well known fastening means may be employed for the form as shown in Figure 2, such as a pin, button or the like.

In both forms of the invention disclosed, l have illustrated a button indicated by the reference numeral 11 to act as a fastening means for securing the article to the clothing of a person. However, a pin or the like may be used for that purpose, if desired, as has been previously set forth.

From the above description and disclosure of the drawing, it will be obvious that I have provided an ornamental object in the form of a flower or the like that is to be worn on the person in a conspicuous manner so as to attract the attention of a casual observer, who upon inspecting the object may press a portion thereof, which will of'course result in the liquidbeing ejected through the apertures. Of course the wearer can press the article to eject the fluid, if desired.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

K desire it to be understood that X may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
